Frightened Rabbit– Deaf Institute // 19th September 2012

Indie/folk/pop. Check. Bearded frontman. Check. Dreamy Scottish accent. Check. I’m not sure what more you could want from a band, but Frightened rabbit have all this and more! Unfortunately, this gig has been long sold out, but maybe you can sneak your way in via a fellow gig goers beard? Any way this gig is going to be pretty amazing. Hosted at the wonderful Deaf Institute, you would expect nothing less. Get ready to dance and swoon in equal measure!
